Monsters Love Colors
Mike Austin (2013) , 40-80 pages
Audience: Preschool
Category: Concept, Read Aloud
(This book has outstanding illustrations)

Monsters love to mix, squiggle, dance
and wiggle. They also love to share
their favorite colors and mix them to
make new colors! This book is great at
teaching kids about colors, and what
happens when you mix certain colors
together. It has great rhyming words
that can help kids as well. The artwork
is bright, fun and will get every child
and adult’s attention. The text is also
fun and attention getting. This book is
great for reading aloud at home, and
for school programs as well.

Have you ever been lost? Has a friend
ever helped you find your way back
home? While Vernon the toad was out
foraging for interesting things, he
found a new friend, Bird. He was a
small blue bird who was curiously
silent. Vernon introduced Bird to Skunk
and Porcupine. Then he showed Bird the
river and the forest. They went
foraging together and cloud watching
too. Bird stayed silent. Vernon was
worried that Bird was not happy. Skunk
and Porcupine suggested that maybe Bird
is lost and misses his home. So Vernon
and Bird set off on a journey to find
Bird’s home. Do they find it? Is Bird
finally happy? Will Bird ever speak?

Take a ride through the alphabet with
this clever A-B-C book. Bold and
vibrant pages in black, white and
primary colors lead us through the A to
Z of road signs. A is for Airport, B
is for Bike Route and C is for Children
at Play. Do you know what the road
sign looks like for “Rail”? You will
after reading this book! Children will
love all of the shapes and colors
that “Merge” on each page as they learn
their letters and learn about the signs
that they see from the backseat.
So, “Stop” what you are doing and take
a “Detour” through Backseat A-B-See!
